Life in the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison wasn't exactly luxurious, but no one complained much.
Sun Wukong entered the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison, extremely excited.
"Hey, it seems like there are even more brothers in the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison. Excellent, excellent! Judging by how popular you are, Brother Prison God, the threshold of the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison must be worn out by now, right?"
"Hoo yeah, the brothers here are so pleasant to talk to, I super love this place!"
Just then, Nezha walked past Sun Wukong from behind, surprised:
"Eh? Why is it you, monkey?"
Sun Wukong felt a powerful aura coming from behind him, startling him. He had felt this aura on Guanyin Bodhisattva and Acala.
A half-step Quasi-Sage, the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison actually hides a half-step Quasi-Sage?
Moreover, why does the voice sound so familiar?
Sun Wukong turned his head to look and his eyes widened.
"So it's the Third Lotus Prince, Nezha? When did you become so powerful?"
Sun Wukong turned his head again and saw several Great Luo Golden Immortal level demon kings walking over with their arms around each other's shoulders, even more shocked, he gesticulated wildly.
"How can there be so many Great Luo Demon Emperors in the world? Back then, when I, Old Sun, traversed the Three Realms, I never saw so many Great Luo Demon Emperors!"
"Wait, why are there so many Taiyi Golden Immortal demon kings… This is bad, this is bad! What kind of treasures are those brothers holding in their hands? Top-grade spiritual artifacts, the kind that are almost evolved into spiritual treasures?!"
"My god, those elixirs… Could they be the pills that I, Old Sun, risked my life to steal from the Tushita Palace back then? No, they're even better than the ones I ate! How can they eat them like beans!"
The jailers who were coming and going shook their heads when they saw Sun Wukong making such a fuss.
"Isn't that Sun Wukong from back then? Does he have a problem with our impoverished life?"
"Of course, no one understands frugality more than us. Alas, I've been gnawing on peaches paired with imperial wine for five days straight. If this goes on, I'm done for."
"Cut the crap, I heard that one of our brothers won a year-end bonus yesterday, dozens of ten-thousand-year cultivation pills. He ate until he vomited, then ate again after vomiting. He really couldn't eat anymore, so he distributed them to our brothers."
"If it weren't for a genuine love for this job, who could accept the frugality of our Heavenly Prison?"
"It's all tears at the corners of our mouths. Let's go, several more gods are coming to join the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison today. That Zhaosheng Great Emperor has come ten times already, how are we going to turn him away this time?"
"Don't even mention him, even the boys from the Tushita Palace are secretly running over for interviews. He said that a thousand years of wages over there isn't worth a single day of work in the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison…"
"I don't believe it. Our boss said that the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison is the poorest unit in the entire Heavenly Court. No one is poorer than us."
Several jailers whispered as they walked past Sun Wukong, disappearing around the corner.
Sun Wukong: "…"
???
I may be a monkey, but I can tell that none of what they're saying makes any sense!
When did the Ninth Layer Heavenly Prison become the Palace of Versailles?!
Randomly draw a prize, dozens of ten-thousand-year cultivation pills? And eat until you vomit?
This is what you call an impoverished family?
Sun Wukong had only been gone for five hundred years, but suddenly discovered that the world had changed so fast that he couldn't accept it!
Sun Wukong was definitely not someone without experience. Back then, he was able to roam the Three Realms, form gangs, build Flower Fruit Mountain, and become brothers with the Seven Great Sages Demon Kings. In fact, Sun Wukong understood a lot about the power structure of the Three Realms.
That's why he was able to be so unscrupulous in the human world and dared to go to the underworld to cross out names from the Book of Life and Death, because he was sure that the underworld's strength was insufficient.
But now Sun Wukong suddenly realized…
